What can catch you out is not resetting the elevator trim following a landing with 1 up. (...) If not reset before takeoff with a full load the control loads are very high
Now I've been lurking this website for a few years now but this HAS to be the dumbest thing I've read on here so far. On a 'professional' pilots forum you're pointing out that not checking your trim before take-off might just happen to have some undesired effects? No sh!t sherlock. Last time I checked trim was the first item on your pre-takeoff checklist. Someone get me a gun.
